AlDente1.40.1

AlDente lets you set a maximum charging percentage for a MacBook and adjust that limit from the macOS menu bar. By keeping the battery within a chosen range, particularly between 20% and 80%, it helps reduce prolonged full charging and support longer battery lifespan. It is intended for Mac users who regularly keep their notebook connected to power or want more control over charging during travel.

Its controls include Heat Protection, Sailing Mode, and Calibration Mode, giving users ways to manage charging behavior for different routines. Scheduling can also bring the battery to 100% at a suitable time, which is useful when a capped charge would otherwise be inconvenient before leaving. AlDente is classified as System Tools and is offered as freeware, with the charging controls available directly through the menu bar.

Version 1.40.1 runs on macOS 12 Monterey or later and supports both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs. It suits people who want to preserve MacBook battery health while maintaining access to normal charging when needed. The project is developed by a small team in Austria focused on macOS utilities for everyday use.
